Kate Winslet went viral Sunday when a clip of her offering words of comfort to a first-time reporter hit Twitter.
The 47-year-old actress appeared on the German television network ZDF for an interview with adolescent Martha to discuss her new film “Avatar: The Way of Water.”
Martha, who is described as a “Kinderreporterin,” then revealed to the Oscar winner that it’s her first time interviewing someone.
“Um, it’s my first time,” she said.
It was then that Winslet leaned in and offered some encouraging words.
“This is your first time doing it?” asked the “Titanic” actress. “Ok, well guess what? When we do this interview, it’s going to be the most amazing interview ever. And do you know why?”
“Because we’ve decided that it’s going to be,” she said.
The clip has gained nearly 1.8 million views since it was posted.
